Key on-site amenities listed in MLS include a pool, BBQ area, and a resident manager. Units are reported to have ocean, mountain and Diamond Head views. The building is managed by Hawaiiana Management Company, Ltd., per available records.
MLS data indicate parking is available, covered and assigned. Pets are allowed and short-term rentals are not permitted. Buyers should verify all details, fees, rules and current conditions with the listing agent or management, as this summary is based solely on MLS data.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
Property data is unanimous that the building was constructed in 1973, with 12 out of 12 listings reporting this year. No listing remarks contradict or qualify this date.
Listings include units on floors up to at least the 15th floor, and no remarks specify a different total number of stories. Following the rule to use the highest observed floor number when no explicit building count is given, the building is treated as having 15 floors.
A remark notes there are 'only five units per floor,' and property data shows at least 15 floors with residential units, implying about 75 units in the building. Because no listing explicitly states the total number of units, this is an informed estimate rather than a directly confirmed figure.
The remarks were reviewed for specific owner-occupancy figures or clear qualitative indicators (e.g., 'mostly owner-occupied'), but none were present. With no evidence to update or contradict the existing 48% figure, the current value is kept.
Remarks mention elevator access (e.g., 'secured building with fob entry and elevator access') but never state how many elevators the building has. With no explicit count to confirm or contradict the existing value, the current value of 1 elevator is retained.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
Where agents list what the maintenance covers, they consistently mention electricity, water, sewer, cable, internet, and hot water but never central A/C. With ACCEN unchecked across all MLS records, it is very likely central air conditioning is not included in the fees.
Multiple listings state that maintenance fees include cable, e.g., “Electric, Cable, Internet, Water, Sewer” and “basic cable TV.” With 11 of 12 MLS records also checking CABTV, this strongly indicates cable TV service is included in the monthly fee.
Although remarks do not explicitly call out 'common area electricity,' the OTCOEX flag appears on the vast majority of MLS entries. This strongly suggests that common-area operating costs, including shared electricity, are included in the association fees.
None of the MLS records indicate cooperative taxes are included, and the building is marketed as fee simple rather than a co-op. This makes it virtually certain that cooperative taxes are not part of the maintenance fee.
Many listings state “maintenance fee includes electricity” or similar language, and one notes “The HOA fee includes your ELECTRICITY.” Combined with ELECTR being checked on nearly all MLS entries, electricity is clearly included in the monthly fee.
Agents repeatedly list what the fees cover but never reference gas service, and the GAS checkbox is unset on all MLS records. This strongly indicates gas is not included in the association fees (and likely not a significant building utility).
Several listings specify that fees cover “hot water,” such as “maintenance fee that includes electricity, water, hot water, and sewer” and “includes … hot water, sewer and water.” With HOTWAT set on most MLS entries, hot water is very likely included in the maintenance fee despite one unit mentioning a water heater.
Remarks note “Electric, Cable, Internet, Water, Sewer” and “Maintenance Fee includes Electricity, cable TV and internet,” among others. Together with INTSER being checked on most MLS records, this shows building internet service is included in the monthly fees.
While the building fronts the Ala Wai Canal, none of the listings describe marina access or boat slips, and the MARINA inclusion flag is never used. This provides strong evidence that marina access or fees are not part of the association dues.
Several agents write that maintenance fees include “sewer” (often alongside electricity, water, and hot water). With SEWER checked in every MLS record, sewer service is clearly covered by the association fees.
Listings repeatedly state that maintenance includes “water” or list it among covered utilities, sometimes as “sewer and water.” Given WATER is flagged on all MLS entries, building water service is unquestionably included in the monthly fee.
At least 4/12 listings clearly describe shared BBQ amenities (e.g., 'pool, BBQ grill', 'community pool and BBQ deck'). The repetition across several agents plus 10/12 MLS checkboxes makes this a confirmed building feature.
At least one listing explicitly lists a 'bike rack' among building amenities, indicating residents have a place to store bicycles on-site. Other listings are consistent with this and do not contradict it, supporting that the building offers bike storage as a shared amenity.
Views of the Ala Wai Canal are a selling point, but there is no suggestion of docking or boating facilities. MLS data supports the conclusion that there is no boat dock or marina amenity.
Parking is discussed (covered stalls, location), but no mention is made of car wash facilities. MLS data is consistent with there being no car wash amenity.
Amenities are consistently limited to pool, BBQ, community laundry, and bike rack; no clubhouse is ever referenced. The MLS data is fully consistent with the absence of a clubhouse.
Remarks focus on location, views, utilities-included maintenance fees, pool/BBQ, and security via video/fob, but there is no reference to any concierge or front-desk services. With 0/12 MLS indications and no textual evidence, it is highly likely there is no concierge at this building.
While the building allows pets ('PET-FRIENDLY'), there is no indication of a specific on-site dog park or run. MLS amenity data aligns with the absence of this feature.
Multiple agents emphasize 'secured' entry via video/fob and other amenities like pool, BBQ, and community laundry, but there is no mention of a staffed doorman or lobby attendant in any listing. This consistent omission alongside 0/12 DOORMA entries makes it very likely the building has no doorman service.
Across 12 listings, none reference a gym, fitness center, or exercise room. Combined with 0/12 MLS amenity checkboxes, this is strong evidence the building lacks an exercise facility.
Despite being a selling point in luxury buildings, no courtesy car or limo service is advertised here. Combined with MLS data, this strongly indicates no such service.
None of the 12 listings highlight any meeting or conference facilities, which would typically be marketed if available. MLS checkboxes also omit this feature.
Multiple listings describe lanais (e.g., 'wrap-around lanai', '80 square foot lanai') and shared outdoor areas like a 'community pool and BBQ deck' and 'on-site pool and bbq area'. At least 2 of 12 listings explicitly reference a deck while many more reference lanais, indicating the building offers patio/deck-style outdoor amenities accessible to residents.
Any walking or jogging is implied to be off-site along the Ala Wai area, not a controlled building feature. MLS data does not mark a jogging path amenity.
Across all 12 listings, family-oriented play amenities are never mentioned, which would be highly marketable if present. MLS data uniformly shows no playground amenity.
Across 12 listings, there are no references to a private yard, fenced yard, or enclosed ground-level outdoor space—only lanais, decks, and pool/BBQ areas typical of a high-rise. This strongly indicates the building does not offer private yard areas for units.
Although some listings mention golf course views, none claim an on-site putting green. The MLS data corroborates that no such amenity exists at this building.
Multiple agents independently reference a pool/BBQ area or deck, indicating a dedicated shared recreation deck rather than just a small grill space. With consistent MLS tagging, this supports a building-level recreation area.
Across all listings, amenities are described as pool, BBQ, community laundry, and bike rack, with no recreation or game room mentioned. MLS data also does not show a rec room, indicating it likely does not exist.
The building is marketed for its location near many restaurants, not for in-building dining. Absence of any direct claim and MLS omission indicate no on-site restaurant.
Views and outdoor space are consistently described in terms of private lanais and the pool/BBQ deck, not a rooftop. The complete absence in MLS data further indicates no shared rooftop amenity.
For a sauna, agents typically highlight it alongside pool/gym amenities, but it is never mentioned. MLS amenity fields agree that no sauna is present.
None of the 12 listings for this building mention storage lockers or extra building storage, and MLS amenities never include any storage options. The only 'storage' comments are about in-unit kitchen cabinets, suggesting there are no dedicated storage units available to residents. Based on consistent omission across all agents, this is treated as a non-existent building amenity.
The public remarks describe various amenities such as a pool, BBQ area, community laundry, security features, and a bike rack, but do not mention any dedicated surfboard storage. I specifically searched for terms like surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike and surfboard storage and found no references. Based on this absence, the building is likely not offering a defined surfboard storage facility.
None of the 12 listings reference tennis courts or related facilities, and MLS data uniformly omits this amenity. This strongly indicates the building does not offer tennis courts.
While not explicitly mentioned in the public remarks, consistent MLS amenity data (12/12) and building type strongly support the presence of a trash chute system. This is very likely a standard building feature.
All references to parking are to individual stalls rather than a managed service, and no listing mentions 'valet' or similar services. The combination of remarks and MLS checkbox data strongly supports that the building does not offer valet service.
Across 12 listings, agents highlight pool, BBQ, parking, and secure entry but never mention perimeter walls, fencing, or gates. The complete absence of 'gated' or 'fenced' language and 0/12 MLS flags strongly indicate there is no enclosing wall or fence system for the property.
Amenity descriptions consistently limit water features to a standard pool. The lack of any hot tub or spa reference plus MLS data indicates no whirlpool facility.
Numerous listings for Hale Moani explicitly mention a shared building pool, including phrases like 'building’s sparkling pool', 'on-site pool and bbq area', and 'community pool and BBQ deck'. Combined with 12/12 current MLS entries showing a pool amenity, the evidence across multiple agents and listings strongly confirms that the building has a pool.
While many listings confirm the presence of a shared pool, none of the 12 current MLS entries mark it as heated and no remarks use terms like 'heated pool' or 'heated swimming pool'. The consistent lack of any 'heated' description across agents and remarks indicates the building’s pool is not heated.
I searched all public remarks for indications that the pool is salt water, including phrases like salt water pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, or saline pool. While the presence of a pool is repeatedly confirmed, there is no reference to it being salt water, so it is most likely a standard (non-salt) pool.
No listing remarks reference in-unit washers or dryers, even for upgraded and penthouse units, and 0/12 MLS inclusion checkboxes indicate a washer/dryer. Multiple agents instead emphasize shared/community laundry, suggesting laundry is provided communally rather than in individual units.
Multiple listings explicitly mention "community laundry" as a building amenity, and all 12 current MLS entries include the community-laundry checkbox. This consistent evidence from several agents and units indicates the building offers shared laundry facilities for residents.
The text does not specify whether the community laundry is free or requires payment. Terms such as coin-op, card-operated, quarters, or paid laundry are not found. In the absence of explicit evidence of a fee, this feature is set to false with moderate uncertainty.
Listings clearly state that the building has community laundry, but there is no mention of laundry rooms being present on each floor. Phrases like 'laundry on every floor' or 'laundry room on each floor' do not appear in any remarks. Given the absence of explicit per-floor language, this feature is marked as not present.
Every recent listing indicates the presence of at least one parking stall, with remarks such as "WITH PARKING" and "1 bed, 1 bath, 1 parking unit." MLS parking_features show that all 12 of 12 listings have a parking type selected and none indicate no parking. This strongly supports that the building offers on-site parking for residents.
Most MLS records (9 of 12) check the ASSIGN option for parking, and one listing states the unit "comes with a reserved parking stall." Other listings mention a specific stall, like a "large parking stall," consistent with designated parking. This makes it very likely that the building provides assigned or reserved stalls for at least some units.
Multiple units are advertised with covered parking, including phrases like "comes with covered parking," "1 covered parking unit," and "1 covered parking spot." In MLS data, 9 of 12 listings mark covered or garage-style parking. This provides strong evidence that the building offers covered parking stalls.
There are repeated references to included parking stalls, but no explicit language that parking is deeded or owned with the unit. Searched for phrases like "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed" and found none, so deeded parking is unlikely but not definitively ruled out.
Across all provided listings, there are no references to EV charging, charging stations, or similar amenities. MLS parking_features for 12 of 12 listings omit the EVCHRG checkbox. Given this consistent absence, it is highly likely the building does not offer dedicated EV charging stations.
There is no explicit statement about a monthly parking fee or separate charge for parking. Searched for terms like "parking fee," "monthly parking," or "additional cost for parking" and found none, so the presence and amount of any parking fee remain unknown.
None of the listing remarks mention "guest parking" or "visitor parking," despite detailing other amenities such as pool, BBQ, and bike rack. Additionally, no MLS records for the 12 listings check the GUEST parking feature. This strongly suggests that formal guest parking is not available at this building.
Remarks describe a "secured building with fob entry" but do not specifically state that the parking area itself is gated or access-controlled. MLS parking_features never mark SECENT for any of the 12 listings. This pattern indicates that, while the building is secure, the parking is not clearly marketed as separately secured entry parking.
Listing remarks talk about a "large parking stall that potentially fits a car plus a motorcycle or moped" but never use terms like "tandem" or "back-to-back." The TANDEM option is unchecked in all 12 MLS entries. This makes it very likely that tandem parking is not a standard or advertised configuration in this building.
The building is described as a conventional Waikiki condo with self-use parking, and no listing mentions valet or attended parking services. MLS data also show that none of the 12 listings select the VALET option. Together, this provides very strong evidence that the building does not offer valet parking.
The remarks consistently market units as having an included parking stall and never reference a waitlist process. Searched for "parking waitlist" and similar phrases and found nothing, suggesting there is likely no formal parking waitlist system.
Security is described as '24/7 video and key fob security' and 'fob entry,' but agents never say the elevator itself is keyed or requires a fob. Combined with 0/12 MLS ELEVAT checkboxes, the evidence suggests there is secure building entry but not a keyed/fob-access elevator system.
Multiple listings clearly state that the building uses key fob access and is a secured building, which matches the definition of a card/fob access security system. This is consistent across different units and timeframes, so it is very likely a permanent building feature.
Agents repeatedly describe Hale Moani as a 'secured' or 'secure, well-managed' building but never mention a guard or on-site security personnel. With 0/12 MLS checkboxes for SECGUA and no guard-related language across remarks, this strongly indicates there is no security guard service.
The remarks reference 24/7 video security and fob/secured entry but do not mention any on-site or roving security patrol services. Given the absence of any patrol-related terms, it is likely that there is no formal security patrol in this building.
At least 1/12 listings clearly mentions '24/7 video ... security,' providing explicit evidence of video surveillance at the building. Other remarks refer to a 'secured' or 'secure, well-managed' building, supporting the presence of a building-wide video security system despite MLS checkboxes being left blank.
No listings (0/12) indicate central AC in MLS checkboxes, and no remarks mention 'central air', 'HVAC', or similar terms. Given how prominently a building-wide system is typically marketed, this consistent absence across multiple agents and listings strongly suggests the building does not have central air conditioning.
Across 12 listings, no MLS checkbox entries (ACSPL) or remarks mention split, ductless, or mini-split AC systems. Given the number of listings and that recent upgrades are otherwise well-documented, this strongly indicates that units in the building do not have split AC systems.
MLS inclusions show window AC (ACWIUN) checked on 3 out of 12 listings, even though the remarks do not describe the AC type. Multiple independent agents marking this suggests that at least some units in the building are equipped with window air conditioning, so buyers seeking window AC-capable units should consider this building.
MLS data is unanimous (12/12 listings) for concrete construction, while no remarks contradict this and the building is repeatedly described as a high-rise Waikiki condo (penthouse, high-floor, multiple units per floor). This strongly supports reinforced concrete as the primary construction. Evidence is consistent across many different listings/agents rather than a single copy‑paste entry.
None of the 12 listings indicate double-wall construction, and the structure is repeatedly characterized as a concrete Waikiki condo tower. In Hawaii, double-wall refers mainly to wood-framed homes, which this is not. The consistent absence of this checkbox supports a negative conclusion.
All listings omit hollow tile in the construction materials, while unanimously selecting concrete instead. Remarks never mention hollow tile walls or similar. This pattern across many agents suggests hollow tile is not a defining construction type for this building.
One listing marks masonry/stucco but eleven do not, and no remarks reference stucco or masonry exteriors. The building reads as a standard concrete Waikiki tower, so the lone MASSTU entry appears to be a one-off agent selection. Overall evidence favors treating masonry/stucco as not a primary construction type here.
No listings select steel frame in the construction materials, while all instead select concrete. Remarks emphasize a standard Waikiki condo tower with nothing suggesting a steel-frame structure. Combined MLS and market norms make steel-frame construction unlikely here.
A minority (4/12) of listings check slab construction, with no remarks contradicting it, and the building is an urban concrete tower where a slab-type foundation is standard. The partial but repeated MLS marking across different listings suggests slab applies, though some agents may simply have left the box unchecked.
No analysis available
0/12 listings mark wood frame, and remarks repeatedly describe a secure, elevator-served high-rise building (penthouses, high floors, multiple units per level). Given the building type and local construction norms, wood-frame construction is highly unlikely. The absence of this checkbox across all agents supports this conclusion.
Half of the listings explicitly mark above-ground construction, and none contradict it; remarks describe high-floor and penthouse units, confirming a raised multi-story structure. While some agents do not check this box (likely omission), the combination of MLS data and building form makes above-ground construction likely applicable.
None of the listings mention or check brick construction, and the building is presented as a typical concrete Waikiki condo tower. Given local practices and the lack of any brick-related language, brick construction can be safely ruled out. Multiple independent agents omitting this box reinforces that it is not a brick building.
All listings omit single-wall construction and instead mark concrete, and the remarks describe a secure elevator building with penthouse and high-floor units. This is incompatible with traditional single-wall construction. The consistent data across many agents makes single-wall construction effectively certain to be absent.
Remarks were checked for phrases such as legal short-term rental, NUC/TVU, nightly/weekly rental, or explicit minimum-stay rules and none were found. The units are marketed as homes, second homes, and investments, but without clear language allowing STR, the building is treated as not STR-allowed by default.
Listings were reviewed for references to a hotel rental pool, on-site hotel management, or participation in a branded hotel program, and none were present. Combined with STR not being clearly allowed, this supports that the building does not participate in a hotel rental pool.
Remarks were checked for phrases like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'must be in rental program', or similar requirements, and none were found. Since there is no evidence of any hotel pool, participation also cannot be mandatory.
At least one listing clearly states the unit is 'fee simple,' establishing that fee simple ownership exists in this building. No other listing mentions leasehold or land lease terms, suggesting fee simple is common here.
Across all provided remarks, there are no references to leasehold or lease terms, and one unit is explicitly marketed as 'fee simple.' Given leasehold status is typically emphasized in this market, the evidence points to this being an all–fee simple building with no leasehold units noted.
I looked for explicit leasehold terms or expiration dates, including phrases like lease expiry, lease ends, or lease extended, but none were present. At least one unit is identified as fee simple, and there is no information about any underlying land lease end date. Without a stated lease expiry year, this field must remain unknown.
The listings explicitly market the units to VA buyers, which typically only occurs when a building is VA-approved. There are multiple independent references to VA buyers, with no language suggesting VA loans are not accepted. Based on this, the building is very likely VA financing approved.
Multiple listings emphasize that the building has full hurricane insurance coverage, indicating a comprehensive master policy at the building level. While framed specifically around hurricanes, the repeated 'full' and 'fully insured' language strongly supports treating the building as fully insured for this field.
No listing remarks mention fire sprinklers, and the MLS amenity for sprinklers is unchecked on all 12 listings. This consistent absence strongly suggests the building does not have a marketed fire sprinkler system.
All provided remarks were checked for references to a fire/life safety evaluation or similar certification, but none were found. In the absence of any evidence, this field is set to false by default, as such a status is typically highlighted if present.

No analysis available
One listing describes 'breathtaking OCEAN, ALA WAI CANAL & MOUNTAIN VIEWS!' from a larger corner 1-bedroom with a wrap-around lanai. Other listings emphasize canal/mountain views, suggesting ocean views are limited to certain high or corner stacks but are indeed available in this building.
Nearly every listing highlights mountain aspects: 'Ko'olau Mountains', 'island mountain View', 'canal/mauka views', and 'mountain vistas'. Both remarks and MLS tags consistently confirm that many units in the building enjoy strong mountain views.
A high-floor corner listing explicitly mentions 'Diamond Head views' and again lists 'Diamond Head with sunrise' among its view corridors. This, along with one MLS Diamond Head tag, confirms that some units in the building do enjoy Diamond Head views.
Several listings advertise 'City, mountain, and canal views', 'partial city and mountain views', and 'sparkling city lights'. These consistent descriptions across different units show that city views are a standard feature for parts of the building.
Agents describe an 'OCEAN' view in one case but never characterize it as a 'coastline' or 'shoreline' view, and no MLS entries use a coastline tag. This suggests the building offers ocean glimpses rather than expansive coastline views as a defining feature.
Listings consistently promote canal, mountain, city, ocean, golf course, and Diamond Head views but never mention garden, courtyard, or landscaped views. Given the building’s urban/canal frontage and complete absence of such remarks, units with true garden views are unlikely.
A high-floor corner unit describes 'unobstructed views of the ... golf course' along with canal and Diamond Head views. This supports that at least some higher or canal-facing stacks enjoy golf course vistas over the Ala Wai Golf Course.
Many listings emphasize Ala Wai Canal views: 'Ala Wai Canal & mountain views', 'relaxing Ala Wai Canal', 'canal/mauka views', and more. Since MLS treats canal views under the marina/canal category, this strongly confirms a marina/canal view feature for the building.
One listing highlights 'Diamond Head with sunrise' among the unobstructed view corridors, aligning with an east and Diamond Head orientation. This supports sunrise views for certain stacks within the building.
Despite extensive marketing of views (mountain, canal, city lights, ocean, golf course, Diamond Head with sunrise), there are no references to sunsets or evening western exposure. This persistent omission suggests sunset views are not a selling feature for this building’s units.
There are zero references to any cemetery view despite very detailed view marketing in the remarks and no MLS cemetery view tags. Considering the known urban/canal surroundings, it's safe to conclude the building does not offer cemetery views.
I searched for any references to fireworks views, Friday night fireworks, or watching fireworks from the lanai or unit and found none. Given how extensively views are described, the absence of fireworks mentions suggests this is not a notable feature. Thus, fireworks views from the building are considered unlikely based on current remarks.

Multiple independent agents describe the building as 'PET-FRIENDLY' and 'pet-friendly', and there are no contrary restrictions mentioned. This provides strong evidence that the building allows pets, likely with standard condo rules rather than a blanket prohibition.
A majority of the MLS entries (7 of 12) list a resident manager in the building amenities, indicating an on-site manager is provided as a building-level service. While the remarks don’t call this out explicitly, the consistent amenity data across many listings supports its existence.
Listings market the property as a conventional Waikiki condominium suitable for primary residents and long-term investors, with no hotel branding or front-desk/rental-pool language. The absence of any condotel terminology across many listings indicates it is not operated as a condotel.
The building is repeatedly referred to as a fee simple condominium without any mention of cooperative structure or share-based ownership. Both the wording in remarks and the MLS fee coding support that this is not a co-op building.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
